The timeline for booking your move depends on the type and distance of your relocation. Local moves within a city like Auckland or Wellington can often be scheduled with just a few weeks’ notice, whereas long-distance or inter-island moves may require additional planning. Inter-island relocations, for example, can involve ferry bookings, route planning, and potential weather considerations, which can affect scheduling.
For international moves, there are added factors such as customs documentation, shipping schedules, and transport logistics that need to be arranged well in advance.
We recommend contacting Allied as soon as your moving date is confirmed. Generally, reaching out six weeks ahead works for most relocations, but our team can often accommodate shorter lead times for simpler moves or smaller households. Early booking ensures you secure your preferred dates, gives your Personal Moving Consultant time to organise all the details, and allows you to plan your packing and storage requirements with ease.
